The main cues for leukocyte trafficking are chemokines thought to directionally guide these cells towards their targets. However, model systems that facilitate quantification of chemokine-guided leukocyte migration in vivo are uncommon. Here we describe an ex vivo crawl-in assay using explanted mouse ears that allows the visualization of chemokine-dependent dendritic cell (DC) motility in the dermal interstitium in real time. We present methods for the preparation of mouse ear sheets and their use in multidimensional confocal imaging experiments to monitor and analyze the directional migration of fluorescently labelled DCs through the dermis and into afferent lymphatic vessels. The assay provides a more physiological approach to study leukocyte migration than in vitro three-dimensional (3D) or 2-dimensional (2D) migration assays such as collagen gels and transwell assays."}],"publication_status":"published","date_published":"2013-04-03T00:00:00Z","month":"04","article_processing_charge":"No","pmid":1,"date_updated":"2023-09-05T13:15:33Z","type":"book_chapter","day":"03"}
